Zoho Desk Primary Use Case

Zoho Desk is a software solution, and there are different options depending on the organization's needs. Imagine you're an e-commerce company. You have customer engagement on social media, WhatsApp, and Instagram, and maybe orders fulfilled through different platforms. These are all different customer engagement channels.

One is a phone, and the others are not as traditional channels. You can also integrate Zoho Desk with your CRM for purchases and returns. So, here's a list of products. These are all different channels.

Zoho Desk helps consolidate all these channels into one platform. So you can receive inquiries and respond to the same application. If a customer calls you, you can pick it up from the Zoho Desk. If they send an email, you can see and respond to it there. The same goes for WhatsApp messages and even Instagram DMs. It can be tricky to manage all these interactions separately.

So, Zoho Desk brings all these communication channels and reports together. If your organization is looking for an end-to-end solution to manage customer support tickets, then Zoho Desk is a great option.

Integration with other Zoho products, for example, a call center solution, is very seamless. It's a native integration. You don't need any APIs. It's very straightforward. That's the best one I've done. Integrating with Microsoft Teams is very effective and easy to do as well.

However, integrating with something like, say, RBI Analytics, they weren't able to sign off on that option yet. You have to go through custom APIs or a customer solution tool. But by and large, the integration for native Zoho products is straightforward. If you need a customized integration, it's achievable, but it requires some coding. In the past, we used to write entire lines of code to connect applications, but Zoho Desk makes it much easier.

The primary use case for Zoho Desk is as a ticket management system. For instance, in scenarios such as event management where customers submit requests via email, it manages these tickets effectively. It ensures timely responses by setting up reminders for each ticket based on specified response times, typically within an eight-hour window. It facilitates tracking the status and provides escalations for unresolved issues. Moreover, it ensures the team members stay informed, even if they are not directly involved in the email communication.

The use of ZohoDesk is to operate and maintain internal as well as external tickets within the organization.

For example, I connected this ticketing system with all of the portals so that if any customer is facing issues, they can submit their tickets inside. So we can handle the complaints and the issues or the inquiries of my customers as well as the internal stakeholders via the ticketing system.

Zoho Desk is used as a ticketing application. It is used for support ticketing compared to Jira and ServiceNow. Zoho Desk is a ticketing application for Zoho One platform.

If you know ServiceNow and Jira's ticketing, it is the equivalent of Zoho Desk.
